Pete Sampras inducted into HOF

Yesterday, Sampras was inducted into the Tennis HOF. Is this a big deal, or is this just a blip on the sports radar. I was not even aware they had a hall. Where is it.

This one was a no brainer...Newport Rhode Island where I believe they still have a grass tennis court...it has been around since the 1950's... I suppose like any other Hall its a big honor..its also an International HOF.

Re: Pete Sampras inducted into HOF

i think the better question should be how many of us knew that he was inducted? i mean between everyone on this site we must have the largest knowledge of sports anywhere on the net, so if none of us knew about it i think it falls into the "dot on a radar" category meaning that it was important...just not THAT important

Yeah, hate to say it, but reading about it here was the first I'd heard of it. Shame, too, cause Sampras was a truly great athlete in a sport that is extremely challenging to play.

Re: Pete Sampras inducted into HOF

That is how I heard about it also. You would have thought ESPN would have at least let us know about the selection committee.
